That's why I posted facts such as the following yesterday:
Here are the figures taken from IGR's quarterlies for "Exploration and evaluation" expenses:
September quarter 2008: $4.52 million December quarter 2008: $1.72 million March quarter 2009: $0.93 million June quarter 2009: $2.49 million September quarter 2009: $3.82 million December quarter 2009: $3.46 million March quarter 2010: $4.75 million June quarter 2010: $5.69 million September quarter 2010: $5.89 million December quarter 2010: ????? million
This totals $33.27 million and does not include the December quarter. Note these amounts also do not include development costs.
Now with $33.27 million spent on exploration and evaluation (probably not too far off $40 million if we include the December quarter) you'd like to think that will result in a significant increase in gold resources and gold reserves for it to be money well spent.
